I've made a new ghost type actor, based on an Altmer. It has a levelled spell of the Vampire Drain Health spells and plenty of magic to cast the spells, but it always decides to punch me.
I'm not too sure what's going on, any takers?

Hello Mr PirateLord, on the actor screen for your ghost creaturehave you set the "Combat Style" under th "AI Data" tab to one that allows the use of your Vampire Drain Health spell?

Hope you get it to work.

Make sure the, "Class" is also something like, "Nightblade" so they will cast spells.

I've got him set to the BanditWizard class, is there some restriction on the drain spells for certain classes?


On a seperate note, I have another issue with him, in that he refuses to equip the robes I've given him. These are special unplayable robes that use up extra body slots to hide details (like the face, hands, feet, etc, etc), but it seems he would rather wander around naked then robed. They have been turned into light armour, he has light armour skill, even when they were normal clothes, he still wasn't interested.

Do you have the robes in his inventory, or set as his outfit?

OK, fixed the robe issue. Wasn't adjusting Armour Addon body parts being used, just the body parts on the armour item itself.

Still just need to resolve the spells. Just a simple case of all the vampire drain spells put into a levelled spell list, and then this list added to the actor.
Unless the levelled spell list is broken.
Is there some way in the console to find out what spells an Actor has?

TIA
